Looking After You

As part of Women’s Health Week, this episode of the Now and the Future podcast focuses on resilience and wellbeing with Mentally Wellthy founder and mum Donna Thistlewaite.

Donna is a health and resilience facilitator. Her passion for mental health is fuelled by a lived experience of a suicidal crisis in 2012.

She is focused on building awareness of the risks of poor mental health and the capability of individuals to recognise symptoms in themselves and others, and to promote help seeking.

This episode is beneficial not just to mums but has valuable information for all members of the community.

Please enjoy this discussion about “looking after you.”

If you are experiencing any mental health concern, we recommend you reach out to your GP for assistance.
